Latest Ageing Reverse Research: Fountain of Youth Finally Found?

Did the latest anti-aging research finally discover the
proverbial “Fountain of Youth” in the blood plasma of younger organisms?

By: Ringo Bones

Since Spanish explorers had been searching for the Fountain
of Youth in 16th Century America without signs of success,
contemporary medial science have since written off studies into physiological
age-reversing as nothing more than a “Quixotic Task”, but not anymore. Research
authors of an ongoing study on age-reversing in the United States’ West and
East coasts are finally confident of their latest results showing that they
might be a way to physiologically reverse the biological aging process.

Saul Villeda, Ph.D. of the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regeneration Medicine and Stem Cell Research – one of the research authors of an ongoing
research done on the US West and East coast on injecting blood plasma from
younger mice into the hippocampuses of older mice have shown to reverse most of
the damage done by Alzheimer’s Disease. Dr. Tony Wyss-Coray of Stanford
University School of Medicine – one of the scientists involved in the Ageing
Reverse Research – have experimental results showing older mice becoming stronger both
physically and mentally after injecting their hippocampuses with blood plasma
from much younger mice suggests that “younger blood plasma” recharges the
brain. Though to the layman, the research results could suggest the
physiological explanation of “vampirism”.

Despite the research results suggesting the physiological
explanation of “vampirism” and of “Bram Stroker’s Dracula”, repeatable lab
results have shown that blood plasma of younger mice shows an observable
improvement of the brains of older mice compared to the control group. Stronger
reaction in the improved performance of the hippocampuses – the part of the
brain involver in learning and memory - of older mice injected with blood
plasma of younger mice suggests that the procedure could serve as a possible
cure in reversing the damage done by Alzheimer’s to the brains of affected
humans. The encouraging results point to the possibility of human trials in a
few years time.
